Don’t Run with Giant Scissors
My weekend wishes were fulfilled with a ribbon-cutting assignment. I’m pretty sure when they cut the ribbon I did not look through the viewfinder. Such is the power of my protest of these sorts of assignments. Maybe I should shoot a personal project on the people that manufacture golden shovels and giant scissors. If nothing else, it would as compelling as most of the work I’ve done lately. I knew it was a picture we wouldn’t run and I was more interested in the renovated building and exhibit anyway…

The room on the left had a sign over the door labeled 'Colored' and the room on the right had one labeled 'White.' (Mike Morones/The Free Lance-Star)
